You’ve Been Violated: Do You Know Your Risks re: Unfortunate Cyber Events?

Yesterday the Managed Technology Association conference concluded. Drew Sanford ran an excellent group exercise. We broke out into groups of five and assumed roles (CEO, CIO, CFO, CMO, and MSP) and simulated each role’s response to odd and not-so-odd occurrences on the company’s network over ten days.

The exercise drove home the technical and response complexities of cyber events or incidents (including whether it is either). There are land mines all over the place if you do not have the technical expertise or a response plan!

I implore all SMB owners, C-Suite members, and managers to take cyber threats seriously. You, at minimum, should review your last assessment or have one completed to know where the holes are in your defenses and what steps should be taken to mitigate your risk.
